The Acronym: RWP
Today’s writing prompt is to type the letters RWP into the abbreviation search field at Acronym Attic and write a poem inspired in any way by one or more of the resulting phrases. You don’t have to use the words from the phrase in your poem, but you can if they fit. GLWI (Good Luck With It)!
Phrase: Radioactive Waste Pile.
I chose this particular phrase as we are about to finish our Chernobyl Exhibition and hence Radioactive waste struck a chord with me.
Clean as a Whistle
Clean as a wind or a breeeze
Clean as the air that we breathe
Clean as a mountain top brooke
Clean as the water we cook
Clean as the sun's healing ray
Clean as a bright summer day
Cleaner than petrol or coal
Cleaner than gas from a hole
Clean is what we have been told
When Nuclear Power is sold!
Come take my hand take a walk
Allow these images to talk!
No, we are not on the moon
Gravity shows you too soon
This devastation you see
Our cleanest energy!
But should all reactors be safe
Send noone else to their grave
What of the stockpile of waste?
Will new generations still taste
Food grown in earth that's not spoiled
By toxic radiation soiled?
Or will the geiger counter's beep
Be heard whilst awake and asleep
Visit Chernobyl to see
How the future may be!
